Conferences and Seminars

At ICORR'97, delegates will have the opportunity to exchange information
and discuss current issues with people working at the leading edge of rehabilitation
robotics. Workshops, lecture presentations, scientific posters, and hardware
demonstrations will give researchers, clinicians, manufacturers, and consumers
every chance to explore and discuss new advances in this challenging area
of research. For details, contact: Bath Institute of Medical Engineering,

ICRA '97

Sandia National LaboratoriesAlbuquerque, New MexicoApril 20-25, 1997

The theme of the 97 IEEE Conference on Robotics and Automation is "Teaming
to Have an Impact." This involves the teaming of industry, universities,
and government to provide solutions to critical problems. Robotics and automation
technologies have the potential to solve a vast array of challenging problems
such as:

increasing manufacturing productivity and quality,

safely cleaning up hazardous waste,

creating affordable defense systems, and

facilitating space and undersea exploration.

Solutions to these challenges will require that innovative technologies
be conceived, explored, developed, and delivered to those in need.

This conference brings together persons who are involved in the use,
development and delivery of rehabilitation and assistive technologies. Recognizing
the contribution that technology can make in the lives of people with disabilities,
RESNA sponsors a conference which provides an informative and thought-provoking
forum for consumers of assistive technology, service and equipment providers,
researchers, and developers. For more information: http://www.resna.org/resna/tango97.htm

The main theme of the IROS'97 conference will be "Innovative Robotics
for Real-World Applications." Bringing robots out of carefully engineered
environments is both a fascinating challenge and a socio-economic necessity
for the next century. Potential applications include health care and medical
robotics, agriculture and mining, space and undersea exploration, and intervention
in dangerous or contaminated environments. http://IROS97.inrialpes.fr/
